Finding view name used by current ADE Explorer session

raduionescu

Hello,

I am starting a ADE explorer session and would like to know which view it is using via skill e.g it can be maestro or maestro_2 and I am unsure of the best way to do this. Most information we get from the object returned by asiGetCurrentSession(). Our tool can be called from either ADE-L or ADE Explorer. I can identify the explorer by asiGetCurrentSession() ->data->fenixMode, but I cannot figure out which maestro view the active session is using. Does anyone have a hint on this? Thank you.

Regards,

Radu

  • Radu,

    sess=axlGetWindowSession()
    axlGetSessionLibName(sess) ; returns the library name
    axlGetSessionCellName(sess) ; returns the cell name
    axlGetSessionViewName(sess) ; you've guessed it, returns the view name (e.g. "maestro")

    Using the asi APIs isn't the right approach, because in Assembler there could be multiple tests and each has a separate asi session id, whereas they all share the same "axl" session (be it ADE XL, Explorer or Assembler).
